oh ok? costumed mobo?
my front panel doesnt have the reset button, so i thought i would add the reset botton wire myself. opened the case and i see a non-standart pin socket. so can i still salvage a wire.

Why do you need a reset button? Do you need to use it often? Holding down the power button for 4 seconds serves the same purpose.

Since it's a proprietory connector the motherboard probably doesn't even have a reset pin to connect a switch too. It shouldn't be necassary in the first place. If you have to do a hard restart that often then there are some other things you should be looking at. I haven't restarted my system for two weeks straight. It's been running 24/7.

well, why should it be taken out. when your system freezez, the only thing you could do is to hard restart. its better to reset than power-down and then up. the reason they take it out, it cause they think that windows is too relaible (which is not the case)
